What To Expect

Not your average cat groomer…

Welcome to The Butler’s Meow, the premier cat grooming service at Barking Butler Grooming Studio. Our mission is to set new standards in cat grooming by combining expertise and compassion to enhance the lives of our feline clients. We take pride in providing professional grooming with a gentle touch, ensuring a low-stress, comfortable experience for all cats.

At The Butler’s Meow, we understand that cats deserve specialised care and attention. That’s why our grooming services are conducted in a dedicated Cat Room, separate from our dog grooming operations. This meticulously curated environment, along with our detailed grooming procedures, ensures the best possible experience for your cat. Our groomers are trained in advanced techniques and are experts in feline behaviour, so we are perfectly positioned to prioritise your cat’s well-being, aiming to make every grooming session a positive experience.

We believe in the importance of regular grooming to maintain your cat’s health and condition. Therefore, we encourage a consistent grooming schedule and respectfully do not accept once-a-year grooming clients. Our commitment to quality grooming and compassionate care ensures that your cat receives the highest level of service every time.

Experience the difference of professional, gentle, and personalised grooming with The Butler’s Meow. We look forward to welcoming you and your feline companion to the grooming family at Barking Butler Grooming Studio very soon!

Why Barking Butler?

  • Our team, carefully selected for their passion, professionalism, extensive grooming training and knowledge, approaches grooming as an art, ensuring every session is an expression of our care and compassion for each pet.

  • Since 2020, our family-owned and operated studio is on a mission to redefine the grooming experience, setting a new standard for excellence in the industry. We infuse a personal touch into every aspect of our grooming services, creating a familial atmosphere for both pets and owners.

  • Nestled in the vibrant heart of South Perth, our studio offers a central and accessible location for pet owners seeking top-notch grooming services with free parking for easy drop-off and pick-up.

  • Your pets well-being is not just a priority; it's our heartfelt mission.

  • We meticulously sanitise all grooming equipment (brushes, blades, scissors, combs, etc.) and furniture used after each and every pet. We maintain rigorous procedures for washing, sanitising, and sterilising grooming tools as well as our entire studio, ensuring a hygienic and safe environment for every furry visitor, significantly reducing health risks and infections.

  • More than just a grooming session, we believe in fostering a harmonious and positive bond between your pet and their grooming journey, as an investment in their long-term health and happiness. Our philosophy extends beyond the aesthetics, focusing also on the overall well-being of your beloved companions.

  • Committed to the continuous education and skill refinement of our groomers and staying at the forefront of industry advancements. A Barking Butler groomer never stops learning and always strives to be the best groomer they can be through further education.

  • We consider grooming not just a job but a craft, a life-long dedication to our passion. Each team member is not just a skilled artisan but a compassionate caregiver, ensuring your pet's experience is as pleasant as a walk in the park.

  • Offering highly detailed grooming treatments, we implement best-practice procedures customised to each service and cat, ensuring international standards of excellence from the bath to the grooming table, delivering unparalleled results for your cherished pet.

  • Our detailed cat bathing procedure combines gentle care, precision and the highest standards of grooming.  After excess undercoat or matting has been removed, each cat receives two thorough hand washes with our premium shampoo to lift away grime, dander, and excess oils to ensure a deep, effective clean.

    Next, your cat is wrapped in a soft, warm towel, and if kitty is keen, we offer a soothing mini-massage. We finish with a gentle, warm blow dry, ensuring your cat feels relaxed and refreshed throughout the process.  Every step is designed for comfort, leaving your cat clean, calm and fully prepped ready for a purrfect groom.

  • What distinguishes us is our authentic bond with the pets we have the pleasure to groom, treating each one as a cherished member of our extended furry family.

  • Our dedicated cat grooming space is thoughtfully designed for feline comfort and safety, creating a serene and welcoming atmosphere that captures the calm of a gentle purr.  We go to great lengths to ensure your cat’s experience is as stress-free as possible, with VIP cat-only entry and exit and a tranquil, cat-only grooming space that keeps them away from any dog distractions. To further enhance their comfort, we use “Feliway” to mimic natural pheromones designed to help your cat feel more at ease during their visit. This is paired with best-practice tools and equipment, maintained to the highest standards for your cat’s care.

  • Our grooming philosophy creates a calm, stress-reducing and positive atmosphere, leaving your cat not only looking fabulous but feeling fabulous too.

  • We take feline grooming seriously by providing a fully cat-centric environment. Our team includes specialists trained in cat behaviour, ensuring we handle even the most sensitive or anxious cats with a deep understanding of their emotional and physical needs. From equipment designed specifically for feline use to our tailored grooming techniques, our entire process is focused on delivering the best care for every cat’s unique grooming requirements.

  • Acknowledging the universal truth that you generally “get what you pay for” in this world, we emphasise the correlation between the value of our cat grooming services and the exceptional quality and informed care dedicated to each furry client.

  • Committed to excellence, Barking Butler goes the extra mile for each client, providing individualised solutions and ensuring outstanding customer service that exceeds expectations.
